Tip of the Day # 117: How to clean your Iron

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR IRON:

1. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt onto your ironing board
2. Turn your iron to the highest setting, ensuring that the steam option is set to OFF
3. When heated, iron over the salt--what happens is that the dirt sticks to the salt, leaving nothing but a wonderfully, shiny iron!

It is good to do this every so often to prevent debris or dirt from your iron melting or sticking to your articles of clothing!

I tried this & did as you instructed a few days ago. It did clean my iron. However when I went to use my iron today it would no longer heat. The iron turned on, but would not heat. I now have salt in my iron that comes out a little at a time when I shake it. I'm very upset as this is an expensive iron and one I use quite often for sewing.
